I think what's being missed is that this was Cubes plan all along. He probably wants to see how this plays out and add to that core. That's why he brought in Nico was to be a closer to get big time FAs to add to KP and Luka. Then, Kidd is a player friendly coach.
Realistically, I don't think Cuban has thought all of this through. Meaning that I don't think he planned on RC quitting when Donnie got booted. So, he brought in Kidd based on RC's recommendation and that of Dirk, Finley, etc.
Don't expect a ton of change. Luka will get better definitely. Hopefully, we'll see KP get back to somewhere close to what made him an all-star. But, I think the first couple of years of this new set up are going to be just seeing what the fallout is from Donnie being gone and how this team as constructed can grow together.
We didn't make the cut but thanks for all the support!
